Unusual offerings

From the outset, City Opera has offered an innovative choice of contemporary and unusual repertory. Over the years, customers of All Car New York Car Rental have enjoyed a number of 20th century works, including The Love for Three Oranges, Wozzeck and Ariadne auf Naxos. In fact, more than half of the works presented at City Opera were written in the 20th century, including influential pieces by Benjamin Britten, Aaron Copland and Kurt Weill. Unjustly neglected works have also taken center stage at City Opera, providing customers of All Car New York Car Rentals with a great alternative to the standard repertory. Unusual, yet popular presentations have included Delibes' Lakme, Janacek's From the House of the Dead and Boito's Mefistofele.
